With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Nangong Wu looked at their shifty eyes and knew they wouldn't easily return the dowry, but she had achieved her goal for today.

She won't leave here for the time being, otherwise it would be too easy for this family.

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. "Li Shuang, take Qiao Yuan with you."

This maid is still somewhat useful; we can't let the Zhou family silence her now.

Li Shuang grabbed Qiao Yuan by the back of her collar, lifted her up, and dragged her behind Nangong Wu.

The wedding banquet had just begun when Nangong Wu disrupted it.

The bride was stripped of her wedding dress in public, disfigured, and had one ear cut off. One guard was killed and three were injured. The steward was unconscious. Qiao Yuan was poisoned, and Zhou Shaorong was also injured. The guests had already fled in fear when they saw that someone had died!

Zhou Zheng and his wife watched Nangong Wu's retreating figure, their teeth clenched with hatred.

"That little bitch! I underestimated her."

"When night falls, send more men to cut off her hands and feet. Let's see how she can still act up. Also, deal with Li Shuang as well."

******

Nangong Wu returned to her original dilapidated courtyard, Hongyun Courtyard.

Li Shuang knocked Qiao Yuan unconscious with a single slap, then threw her into a corner and knelt down before Nangong Wu: "Princess, I'm sorry, I'm late."

When she arrived, she saw that the princess's belly was flat and she did not see the child, so she assumed that the child had died young.

"The child is fine, I've already taken her to a safe place." Nangong Wu didn't want her to know about the space yet.

Li Shuang was taken aback, but didn't ask any further questions about the child. "Princess, you've changed."

Previously, the princess loved Zhou Shaorong to the point of humility, even driving away all the Flying Feather Guards that the princess had left for her, yet she willingly allowed herself to be bullied by the Zhou family.

"I've seen through this family's wolfish ambitions, and I won't be so foolish again!" Nangong Wu thought to herself. The original owner of that foolish body is already dead, and her soul has been replaced by another one. How could she not change?

In fact, even until her death, the original owner still thought about that scumbag Zhou Shaorong.

"Princess, are you really going to divorce Zhou Shaorong? With the greed of the Zhou family, they won't easily return the dowry." Li Shuang wasn't sure if she really wanted a divorce.

She knew how much the princess liked Zhou Shaorong, and she was afraid that if the family came over and coaxed her with a few words, she would have to compromise again.

"I will divorce Zhou Shaorong." Nangong Wu's voice was calm, but firm.

She had just given birth and was still very weak. She wanted to rest for a few days to recover before settling accounts with the Zhou family.

Seeing that she seemed serious, Li Shuang revealed some of the information she had gathered:

"According to my investigation, before you married Zhou Shaorong, the Duke of Wei's mansion was just an empty shell. Now, at least half of your dowry has already been used by them."

"You suddenly demand the return of the dowry today, but they simply can't afford it. The princess and her husband are no longer here, and the Ming and Zhou families are now incredibly powerful; we can't possibly defeat them."

"The Duke of Wei's mansion is just an empty shell?" Nangong Wu wondered.

"The Duke of Wei's mansion holds a high position among officials, with a fief of ten thousand households, a substantial annual salary, imperial rewards, and numerous estates and shops. How could it be an empty shell?"

The Duke's mansion had many guards and servants, but it wouldn't be so lavish as to drain the entire mansion dry.

"They're doing this to help the Imperial Noble Consort's son become the Crown Prince! The Ming family has secretly raised 10,000 private soldiers," Li Shuang said.

"Raising ten thousand private soldiers?" Nangong Wu exclaimed in shock. "Are the Ming family and the Imperial Concubine planning a rebellion?"

"Since the death of the former crown prince, the emperor has not appointed another crown prince. Several princes are eyeing the throne covetously. The Ming family is going all out for the second prince," Li Shuang said.

"I understand!" Nangong Wu still felt something was off.

Maintaining a private army is very expensive.

But given Zhou Zheng's shrewdness, he wouldn't empty his family's coffers to help outsiders; there must be other reasons.

At that moment, the child in the space started crying.

"You can go now!"

"Princess, you haven't eaten anything since you gave birth. I'll go out and find you something to eat right away," Li Shuang said, worried about her health.

The Zhou family wouldn't care whether the princess lived or died; they would have to find food for themselves.

"Okay, go ahead!" Nangong Wu was indeed hungry.

After Li Shuang left, she closed the door slightly and mentally slipped into the space.

This space was passed down in their family. In her previous life, it helped her avoid countless dangers while she was on a mission, and unexpectedly, it came with her to this world.

But her time travel this time was neither accidental nor a stroke of good luck without reason.

That was an act of kindness on her part; she donated a sum of money to a dilapidated Taoist temple.

After examining her face, the old Taoist priest gave her a talisman, saying it could allow her to travel through time and space, and instructed her to always keep it close to her body, as it might save her life.

She listened with skepticism.

Their family is also a family of metaphysicians, and they have never heard of anyone being able to draw any kind of time-travel talisman.

But considering that he was constantly on the verge of life and death, he adopted a "better safe than sorry" mentality and carried the talisman with him at all times.

This time, when she was ambushed and assassinated by her partner, this time-traveling talisman really worked, bringing her here.

It's good that I traveled here; at least I've escaped that post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies.

She went to the infirmary to check on the three children, only to find them asleep again.

Nangong Wu took out the marriage certificate between the original owner and Zhou Shaorong, wanting to see what secrets were hidden inside.

Based on the birth dates and times of the two people, she used the art of Qimen Dunjia to calculate their destinies.

After calculating their birth dates and times, she couldn't help but sneer.

This is not an ordinary marriage certificate; it is actually a contract of marriage.

A marriage contract is a forbidden technique that binds the fates of two people together.

According to the divination, Zhou Shaorong's fate is to be a frail and sickly man who will not live past the age of twenty-five.

However, the original owner's destiny was that of a phoenix, the best destiny.

In the original owner's memory, Zhou Shaorong was indeed a sickly person since childhood, but his health gradually improved after he signed the marriage contract with the original owner.

The Zhou couple were truly cunning; by binding the original owner's fate with Zhou Shaorong's, they could borrow the original owner's destiny and fortune to extend their son's life.

That's why the original owner loved Zhou Shaorong so much that she couldn't extricate herself and was devoted to him.

But to use forbidden techniques to bind the fates of two people together is something that ordinary people cannot do.

What a Zhou family!

Not only did he steal the original owner's luck to prolong Zhou Shaorong's life, but he also hired someone to harm the original owner in order to seize her dowry, and even drugged her with aphrodisiac incense.

The original owner of this body was pitiful, trapped by love.

For this scumbag, she learned poetry and painting, practiced the piano diligently, and tried her best to become the gentle and virtuous woman that Zhou Shaorong liked the most.

She poured her heart and soul into the Zhou family, only to be betrayed and schemed against by them, ultimately losing her life.

Now that she's here, once she's recovered, she'll make that Zhou guy pay for his blood debt.

Just then, there was a commotion in the courtyard. It was Li Shuang returning from buying food. So, she mentally left the space and lay down on the bed.

This person's physical condition is too poor; they need to take good care of themselves.

Li Shuang walked in carrying a food box.

"Princess, I found some stewed chicken soup in the Zhou family's main kitchen."

Today, the Duke of Wei's mansion is holding a grand banquet, but before the banquet has even started, most of the guests have already left, and the prepared dishes have not yet been served.

"Okay." Nangong Wu felt very hungry as soon as she heard about food!
